Away from the roar of planes and the exploding of bombs, a different, quiet war is being waged in Vietnam. It is a war against hunger, want, and misery. It is war for better living standards, better health, and better education. It is a war to rebuild a shattered economy.
The authors tell of their experiences while working among the villagers in that war-torn country, pursuing the goals of the rural development program. They tell of helping to build schools, construct village wells, introduce new farming practices, and rebuild crumbling social and political structures. Here is a story full of hope, optimism, and inspiration – the story of a War Without guns.
